In 1997, Manning was the preseason frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. But in the Vols third game, Manning had the misfortune of throwing an interception, which Floridas Tony George returned 88 yards for a touchdown in the key play during the Gators 33-20 victory.
With an 0-4 lifetime record against Florida, Mannings ability to win big games was put into question.
Manning was 0-3, not 0-4, against the gators, Marky. And I don't think the UF loss in the 3rd game of the season had much of anything to do with the voting considering Manning was still considered by most as the clear frontrunner almost up to Heisman night.
